Saint Seiya: The Multiverse Libra Gold Saint

Tap… tap… tap…

Unhurried footsteps echoed through the silent First Division barracks, deafening in the stillness.

Hiss.

Aizen, the only one still standing, looked at the kneeling Soul Society elites.

A flicker of boredom crossed his eyes.

His past pursuits now seemed meaningless.

Only now did he grasp Kaiser's words.

His vision had been too narrow, confined by his perception to this small world.

Kaiser's mere presence, without lifting a finger, forced everyone to bow.

The gap was despair-inducing, no matter who faced it.

"Damn it…"

"Is this a god?"

Sweat dripped from Nimaiya Oetsu's forehead.

No spiritual pressure.

Nothing tangible.

Yet an instinctive fear, as if facing a higher being, gripped them.

A terror rooted deep in their souls left them trembling.

Kaiser, infused with Athena's blood and divinity from the Saint Seiya world, was a demigod.

His body was evolving toward godhood.

To these beings, mere aggregates of reishi, his presence was overwhelming.

"But… why Aizen?!"

A voice broke the silence.

Zaraki Kenpachi, trembling, forced his head up to face Kaiser.

"Why Aizen?"

"I don't think I'm lesser than him."

Zaraki repeated his question, defiant.

"Interesting." Kaiser said, a smile curving his lips.

The crushing pressure and fear lifted.

Though their bodies still quaked, they could at least move, no longer forced to kneel.

The assembly finally looked at Kaiser, the "god."

His striking beauty, golden eyes, and lean yet explosive frame dazzled them.

His mere presence was blinding, forcing them to avert their gazes.

"We can't even look at a god?"

Bitterness filled their hearts.

Staring too long felt like their bodies would shatter, unable to withstand him.

"You think you have more potential than Aizen?" Kaiser asked, intrigued, turning to Zaraki.

Setting aside his battle-maniac persona, Zaraki's talent was undeniable.

In early Bleach battles, without Shikai or Bankai, he wielded a chipped blade, trading blows with anyone.

"And you, Urahara Kisuke?" Kaiser shifted his gaze.

"Unohana should've relayed my message. What's your stance?"

Both Zaraki and Urahara were among Yhwach's five special war powers.

"I was puzzled at first... why Aizen?" Urahara began.

"But I thought it through."

"Setting aside our rivalry, Aizen is indeed the best choice."

"Exceptional talent, calm, brilliant mind, meticulous planning."

"I understand your reasoning."

Urahara hadn't expected Kaiser to address him but spoke his truth.

"Zaraki Kenpachi." Kaiser continued.

"I initially had higher hopes for you."

"Though you lack Aizen's meticulous mind, my goal is simply to break this world's limits."

"Raw power is enough; cunning isn't essential."

"But you disappointed me."

"For the sake of enjoying battle, you suppressed yourself to toy with weaker foes."

"Is your spiritual pressure even a tenth of your peak?"

"You've sealed your Shikai and Bankai."

"Such a person holds no value to me."

"I need someone who faces their ambition and power head-on and acts on it."

"You don't qualify."

Kaiser shook his head.

"What about Hyosube Ichibe?" Shutara Senjumaru, catching her breath, spoke up.

"As the one who named all things in Soul Society, he created it alongside the Soul King."

"Isn't he stronger than Aizen?"

"He's impressive." Kaiser admitted with a smile.

"But I don't like him."

"If you aid Aizen in breaking the world's limits, the power he now wields can be yours."

"Perhaps even greater."

"You have no deep grudges with Aizen."

"Ascending the world benefits you all."

Kaiser's gaze swept over the assembly.

Breaking the world's limits was no easy task.

Stabilizing that breach was even harder.

"So, Aizen's current state... he's already surpassed the Shinigami limit?"

"That golden spiritual pressure…"

"We could assist Aizen if he proves himself by defeating us." Zaraki Kenpachi declared, defiance etched on his face.

"Kaiser, leave the rest to me." Aizen said, stepping forward.

"You've given me this opportunity."

"If I can't seize it, I'm unworthy."

His smile was cold, devoid of warmth.

Though Kaiser chose him, Aizen knew he wasn't the only option.

To prove his worth, he needed to show more value... a principle he'd always followed.

You get what you give.

"Come. To Hueco Mundo." Aizen said, shattering the spatial barrier between the Seireitei and Hueco Mundo with a wave of his hand.

The sheer force made every captain's pupils constrict.

They followed Aizen to Hueco Mundo.

"What is this?"

The captains stared, stunned, at the landscape.

The ground was vitrified, surrounded by swirling vortexes and storms of terrifying power.

"This is where I faced Kaiser." Aizen explained.

"Where I earned his approval."

"To gain his attention, defeat me here."

"One at a time or all together... it's your choice."

Aizen stood in the sky, Kyoka Suigetsu in hand.

Before breaking his spiritual pressure's limit, he wouldn't have dared this.

Though strong, he couldn't have taken on all of Soul Society alone.

Even Yhwach, with his supposed omniscience, relied on calculated schemes, his Sternritter, and Schutzstaffel to achieve his goals.

But after his limit break, Aizen's power had surged... not just in quantity but in quality and physical resilience.

Merely touched by Kaiser's radiance, he'd reached this level.

Throughout his evolution, Aizen marveled at Kaiser's strength.

Above Hueco Mundo's barren, glassy expanse, Aizen looked down at the thirteen captains.

Kyoka Suigetsu glowed with an eerie golden hue, its transformed spiritual pressure forming tangible golden waves, thundering through the heavens.

"I'll go first!"

Zaraki Kenpachi tore off his eyepatch, his dark red spiritual pressure erupting like a volcano.

Grinning savagely, he leaped into the air, his chipped zanpakuto unleashing sword energy that could tear space itself.

"Limit-breaking spiritual pressure or not, let's fight!"

As his blade descended, Aizen's form dissolved into countless golden butterflies.

Zaraki's pupils shrank, a chill piercing his back.

Kyoka Suigetsu flashed, and blood sprayed.

In one exchange, Zaraki was gravely wounded.

Had he not dodged instinctively, he'd have lost all combat ability.

"Your battle instincts are impressive." Aizen's voice echoed from all directions, the glassy ground reflecting hundreds of his armed silhouettes.

"But against absolute information disparity…"

Countless blades wove a golden cage, and thirty-seven gashes exploded across Zaraki's body.

Nimaiya Oetsu's Sayafushi, the "unsheathed" blade, sliced into the fray.

Claimed to be the sharpest zanpakuto, it cut through space, shattering Aizen's illusory barrier.

"Don't underestimate a swordsmith's eye!"

Nimaiya zigzagged through the air on reishi currents, his blade leaving black rifts in space.

Aizen's expression turned serious for the first time.

His left index finger tapped, golden spiritual pressure forming a solid shield.

Sayafushi, capable of cutting anything, struck the shield, unleashing a terrifying storm... yet the shield remained unscathed.

Nimaiya's hand bled from the impact.

The shield's surface shimmered with countless intricate runes... Aizen's fusion of Bakudo and Hado into a new technique.

"Light Rain."

At Aizen's whisper, the sky unleashed thousands of golden light cones.

Shutara Senjumaru's twelve mechanical arms danced, her divine sewing technique, "Satkara Karo Tsuji." weaving a black canopy over the battlefield.

But the moment the light cones touched the fabric, their divine-infused spiritual pressure incinerated the Quincy-slaying fibers meant to block all attacks.

"My threads… burned?"

Shutara's six pupils contracted in shock.

Aizen descended through the light cones, Kyoka Suigetsu's golden crescents forcing the three captains back a hundred meters.

"Hado 99: Goryutenmetsu!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's roar shook the heavens, five flaming dragons tearing through the golden pressure.

Aizen smirked mockingly, his golden spiritual pressure condensing into a miniature black hole in his palm.

Flames capable of incinerating Hueco Mundo compressed into a crimson crystal the size of a fingernail, spinning lightly at his fingertip.

"I never imagined I could do this." Aizen mused, crushing the crystal.

Scattered embers reformed into countless golden chains.

Divinely infused Bakudo pierced Yamamoto's limbs, and the old man crashed to his knees, the glassy ground cracking into a web-like pattern.

Zaraki, laughing maniacally, tore the bandages from his chest.

His unsealed spiritual pressure formed a blood-red tornado, his chipped zanpakuto beginning to repair itself.

"Now that's more like it!"

The blood-soaked beast became a scarlet meteor, each swing leaving unhealing rifts in Hueco Mundo's sky.

Aizen finally drew his blade to meet him.

Their clashing spiritual pressures obliterated the glassy ground for miles, golden and crimson pillars piercing the heavens.

When the light faded, Zaraki's zanpakuto rested at Aizen's throat, but Kyoka Suigetsu had pierced his chest.

"A splendid final dance." Aizen said, withdrawing his blade.

Zaraki's falling body was encased in a golden cocoon of spiritual liquid.

"As a reward, I'll show you my greatest power."

Shutara's twelve mechanical arms disassembled and reformed into the "Great Weaver's Divine Machine." Threaded with causality strings.

Billions of fate-threads tried to ensnare Aizen, only to be incinerated by his divine spiritual pressure.

"Useless." Aizen said, clenching his fist.

Shutara's device turned against her, binding its creator.

"The threads of fate you wove now weave your end."

Nimaiya seized the moment, hurling eight unique zanpakuto.

The Zero Division-crafted blades formed a Quincy cross array, unleashing a reishi storm that disintegrated everything.

Aizen, unfazed, raised Kyoka Suigetsu.

A golden halo materialized behind him, shattering and absorbing the storm.

A golden torrent from the halo engulfed Nimaiya.

Blood sprayed as he was critically wounded.

"I suppose I have no choice." Urahara sighed, drawing Benihime.

His blood-mist shield, layered with hundreds of composite barriers, shattered instantly upon touching Aizen's pressure.

Aizen stepped through the broken barriers, each step forcing blood from Urahara's mouth.

"I left seventy-two openings. Why not strike?"

"Because…" Urahara said, bitterly crushing a Hogyoku fragment in his sleeve.

"All calculations fail before your absolute power."

His form flickered, and a massive reishi blade... capable of cleaving the Human World... erupted where he stood, a trans-dimensional kido fueled by Aizen's own pressure.

Urahara had bet everything on the Hogyoku.

A corner of Aizen's haori was sliced off.

He glanced at the falling fabric, then laughed.

"Brilliant! Worthy of Soul Society's sharpest mind!"

Golden spiritual pressure surged, the halo behind him sprouting twelve butterfly wings.

"But the game ends here... Bankai Kai: Kyoka Suigetsu Daisenkai!"

The world warped into a dimension of countless mirrors.

Each captain faced thousands of their own reflections, mirroring their techniques with hundredfold power under Aizen's divine enhancement.

Soi Fon's Shunko was countered by her clone, Byakuya's Senbonzakura Kageyoshi was overwhelmed, and even Kyoraku Shunsui's Katen Kyokotsu was trapped in a deadly rule loop.

"Is this… a god's power?"

Ukitake Jushiro knelt on a mirror, watching his clone pierce him with Sogyo no Kotowari.

Suddenly, all mirrors froze, and Aizen's true form emerged from the central pane.

"Understand now?"

"This isn't a fight... it's a demonstration of dimensional disparity."

Aizen's overwhelming power silenced them all.

Unassailable.

Though it was spiritual pressure against spiritual pressure, Aizen's golden reishi was qualitatively leagues beyond theirs.

Though they wielded the same spiritual pressure techniques, their power crumbled instantly before Aizen.

Kaiser's figure appeared at the battlefield's center.

His fingertip grazed the mirror world, shattering the myriad dimensions like bubbles.

"Your progress exceeds my expectations." Kaiser said to Aizen.

"You're already stepping into a higher dimension with this power."

"My choice was correct."

Kaiser hadn't anticipated that the sliver of Cosmo he'd granted Aizen to heal his wounds would propel him beyond the Shinigami limit, evolving his power to this degree.

To crush Soul Society's strongest forces single-handedly was astounding.

The defeated captains glared at Aizen, their eyes filled with reluctance but mostly resignation.

Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had to acknowledge Aizen's unparalleled genius, far surpassing any he'd known.

"Power like this… even Hyosube Ichibe would likely fall." Nimaiya Oetsu and Shutara Senjumaru muttered, helpless.

Aizen stood at the pinnacle of the three realms.

Even Yhwach would be slapped down in his presence.

[Saint Seiya: The Lord of the Underworld (Multi-Cross)]

Hades.

The Lord of the Underworld and one of the Three Sovereign Gods of the Greek pantheon is among the most powerful deities to ever exist.

It is said that He was the strongest of the Three Sovereign Gods, and that Zeus holds the throne of the heavens only because He allowed it to happen, because He lacking of ambition and valuing the balance of the world above all else.

But what if this time, the title of Lord of the Underworld had changed hands, and inherited by someone whose ambition is as vast as the waters of the sea?

Chaos!

This is the story of an ordinary human who through both luck and misfortune inherits the title and responsibility of the Lord of the Underworld.

Ambition!
